The aircraft will be used on a three year Public Service Obligation (PSO) contract awarded to the airline by the Swedish authorities to serve routes linking smaller communities in the north of Sweden. The PSO contract calls for aircraft with a minimum of 50 seats to be used on the routes.
All three aircraft have been sub-leased from ATP operator West Air Sweden, who will also supply maintenance and support for the aircraft. Two of the aircraft come from the existing West Air fleet, with the third aircraft being newly leased to West Air to fulfil the Nextjet requirement.
From 25 October NextJet will commence scheduled ATP service on routes linking Arvidsjaur and Lycksele to Stockholm Arlanda, from Gallivare to Arlanda and from Hemavan and Vilhelmina to Arlanda.
No financial details of the leasing contract were disclosed.
